If you're not a salad fan, but know you need the nutrients they offer, here's the way to drink your nutrients and buffer them with a bit of awesome, hard-working protein. (recipe adapted from Vega)
Ingredients
- 3 leaves kale
- 1 bunch cilantro
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 cucumber
- 1 carrot
- 1 green apple
- 1-2 scoops of Klean Isolate
Instructions:
- Wash all fruit and vegetables (unless they're organic, remove the skin before juicing)
- Juice away (add a dash of lemon juice to keep your green juice from going brown).
Why these green foods?
Kale: It's a superfood. Kale
is essential nutrients, and especially high in calcium, potassium, and iron.
Cilantro: It makes everything more flavorful and is rich in vitamins, minerals, and chlorophyll.
Spinach: This green has 2x as much iron as almost all other greens.
.
Cucumbers: Awesome for hydration. They are refreshing and cooling. Make sure you take off the skins if you're juicing conventional cucumbers.
Carrots: Adds sweetness and has one of the highest sources of beta carotene.
Green Apples: Adds great doctor-keeping-away nutrients and a touch of tartness. Using organic apples lets you keep the skin on, which has a ton of added nutrients.
